Glossary of Common Terms

LCD

“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display screen used in
televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.

BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it—this measurement is called the
barometric pressure. We don’t actually feel the barometric pressure because the air pressure is pushing
equally in every direction.

RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The calculation of relative air pressure is a
combination of the absolute air pressure and the altitude.

ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard to altitude.

INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)
Inches of Mercury is the common unit of measurement for air pressure in the United States.

HECTOPASCALS (hPa)
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in the International System (SI) of
measurement. The hectopascal holds the same value

Important Note:

Before inserting batteries, please carefully read the operation manual.
The touch screen weather station WH1081PC includes a base station(receiver), a transmitter unit, one wind

direction sensor, one wind speed sensor, one rain gauge, USB cable and a PC software package on
CD-ROM.

The Base Station is equipped with a Touch Screen LCD Monitor and allows the display of a large variety of
time and weather data.
Left Top LCD: IN-OUT temperature and humidity
Right Top LCD: Wind and Rain measurement
Left Middle LCD: Weather Forecast(Tendency)
Right Middle LCD: Air Pressure and Air Pressure History
Bottom Line LCD: Time and Date, Memory Data Usage

Note: The presence of the "Alarm-On icon" in the section means that the particular alarm has been enabled.

An added feature of the Weather Station is the readout of all measured and displayed time and
weather data on a PC.

Important Operation Notes

All actions and functions of the weather station are started on the touch screen by slightly
touching(not pressing!) the related areas, touch the flashing +, ON/OFF or – to make the
corresponding selection or increase the value.

Every time a programming step is activated by touching a switching area on the Touch Screen a tone will
sound, and the back light is switched on for a few seconds as well.
If no areas are pressed for 30 seconds, the LCD will automatically revert to the normal display mode
(automatic time out).

Important Notes:

On the edge of wind direction sensor, there are four alphabet lette r of “N ”,”E”,” S” and “W” represe nti ng for the
direction of North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on
the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the
wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.

Wind speed sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket on wind direction sensor.
Wind direction sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket located on the thermo-hygro sensor with

marking of “Wind” on top.
The rain sensor wire has to be inserted into the phone jacket located on the thermo-hygro sensor with

marking of “Rain” on top.

System Start

Insert two pieces of LR6 (AA size) batteries into the transmitter, the LED located in the middle front case of
transmitter will be turned on for 4 seconds, then it will be off and start to work normally. The transmitter will
make a data transmission. When there is a data transmission happened, the LED will be on for 20ms.

After inserting the batteries into the Weather Station, all LCD segments will be turned on for a few seconds,
all possible display segments are turned on for checking.

After this, the weather station will make initial measurement and start to register the transmitter. Before there
is outdoor data received, it is not allowed to touch the LCD, otherwise the outdoor sensor learning mode will
be terminated right after the touch of LCD. When outdoor transmitter has been registered, the Touch Screen
Weather Station will automatically switch to the normal display mode from which all further sett ings can be
performed by the user.

Positioning

Once you have verified that all of the components of the weather station are working, they can be positioned
in their permanent places. Before permanently mounting, make sure that all components work properly
together at their chosen mounting or standing locations.
